No, she knew I had allergies that were best left undisturbed by
trying > to bathe a very disturbed cat.
Sometimes sensitivities can come in handy!
At times, but don't want to push the envelop there. I saw on the news
(in the past few days) that a medication has been developed so kids with peanut allergies can now safely have small amounts of the nut. It won't
be on the market for a while yet, and if it only allows small amounts,
was it really worth the cost of developing?
Guess what the medication is. Ground peanuts. It's a
desensitization therapy such as doctors have been doing
for decades in sheep's clothing.

I think it was always a stupid idea, and the best
place to draw the line is at the beginning. If you're
not emotionally equipped to travel, you shouldn't
travel. If you don't have enough brain cells to make
a minyan, you shouldn't be a rabbi.
Some people might have the need to travel a distance where going by car wouldn't be do-able or practical. Those cases, a small animal would be acceptable but nothing bigger than a mid sized dog.
I'm saying that in this case the needs of the few are definitely
outweighed by the needs of the many. Once in a lifetime to fight
a dread disease at the Mayo Clinic, maybe, with a medical
certification for each case. That's the way it should be and
used to be. You're the one who fusses about the nanny state -
the emotional support animal is the nanniest of the nanny.
Anyhow, there are effective nd relatively harmless drugs to
combat the anxieties or whatever they are at far less consequence
than an animal.
And they're about as communicative on the plate as
they were when they were alive.
Basically, tho some may say that the one on the plate non verbally
says > "yummy". (G)
Only the very macabre among us.
I'm not a rabbit eater so if I see it on a plate, I don't think "yummy"
or if I see it in the wild, I don't think "dinner".
I think meh, but certainly when I see them out in the
weeds, I do think dinner.
Beauty is skin deep. Teeth can be deeper.
Much deeper, and inflict permanent damage.
There are children who frequent this abode. I don't
like the looks of it at all.
Doesn't sound like a good set up there.
As well, I have my doubts about the owner of the beast, who
seems to be a little out of control himself, but it's not
my job, and nobody asked for my advice. Or at least they
didn't want to hear what they didn't want to hear. It was
all, oh, she's so beautiful, and isn't he so nice. Not
paying attention to the fact that the duo has been kicked
out of various lodgings before.
If there was, I flunked it.
Doubt any teacher would do that, but wouldn't have put it past some.
?
Teachers have lots of reasons for getting into the profession.
Some of these may not be totally benign.
Depends on the teacher/subject.
I see no subjects that would be immune to bad teachers or
teachers with an agenda.
I'll ask at some point, but don't do anything until he
gives the okay, and please obey any restrictions he may
impose (I doubt there will be these, but it's still his
book).
I've no intentions of doing so.
That was not an admonition to you in particular exactly but to
all who might want to scoop up information and claim it for
their own or use it commercially. And it isn't specific to this
piece of literature but is a general reminder.
I'll skip the cheese but add a bit of onion and lettuce, plus tomato
and > pickles.
Pickles are an intense distraction for me. I
like them well enough but eat them separately.
I'll have them either way.
It's so easy to take the pickles out. Unless they're buried
in cheese. In which case one can peel off the whole mess.
I have a list in a file called todo2, which is fine for
me but might be inconvenient if I get unconscious and
uncommunative, but in that kind of situation I'd rather
just pack it in.
Still wouldn't be a bad idea to carry a print out in your wallet or something--give it to the receptionist who wants you to fill out a fist
full of paperwork to see a new doctor. Ask her to make a copy, then
write on the paperwork "see attached sheet". Saves a lot of writing.
Sichuan Rabbit with Peanuts
Categories: Main, Chinese, Game
Servings: 4
2 cottontail rabbits or squirrels
- or 1 domestic rabbit
2 in piece ginger, peeled, chopped, more to taste
1 sm onion, chopped
4 Tb soy sauce, divided
2/3 c roasted, salted peanuts
4 scallions, sliced thin
2 Tb black bean paste
3 Tb peanut oil or lard
2 Tb chile bean paste
1 Tb sugar
2 ts sesame oil
h - OPTIONAL TOPPING
2 Tb minced peanuts and/or
1 Tb sesame seeds
sichuan peppercorns to taste
Figure on one cottontail per person if you are a hearty
eater, but you can easily make one rabbit stretch for two
if you have a lot of rice. One domestic rabbit will easily
feed 4 people. Squirrels will also work.
You can cut up the rabbits or just chop them in half with a
cleaver - you're going to pull off the meat anyway. Cover
them in water in a large pot and add the ginger, onion and
3 Tb soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
Cook until the meat wants to fall off the bone, at least 45
min or up to 2 hr for an old squirrel.
Meanwhile, make the topping by toasting the sesame seeds,
sichuan peppercorns and minced peanuts in a dry pan over
medium-high heat until they are fragrant, 1 to 2 min.
Move to a mortar and pestle and grind roughly. Set aside.
When the rabbit is done, drain and allow to cool somewhat.
Strip the meat off the bones and chop into cubes. Set aside
in a large bowl.
In a wok or a saute pan, heat the peanut oil over high heat.
Add the black bean paste and the chile bean paste and
stir-fry until fragrant. Turn off the heat and mix in
the sugar, sesame oil and remaining soy sauce.
Pour the sauce into the bowl with the rabbit and toss with
the peanuts and the scallions. Serve at once over rice.
